LockCurrentPosition no longer working with Orbital Cameras

Bug Reports Engine Bugs
#1

This issue started happening between 15th and 21st February 2020.

I have discussed and trialled this issue within Studio on a number of windows-10 machines within a number of places. Additionally - I’ve sent this to other friends for testing and the same result is occuring (windows 10)

As you can see (in the video attached) I am unable to get mouse LockCurrentPosition to work within Orbital Cameras. I am able to get a delta change in output when zoomed in all the way to first person. As I rotate the camera (in third person - holding right click to do so) you can see (in the video attached) a change of delta is detected in the output. Asides from this - I am not able to get Mouse LockCurrentPosition to work OR Delta to change.

Repro
For Reproduction purposes; I have attached a minimal place file to the thread which resembles that of the video clip.
LockCurrentPosition & Delta Test.rbxl (20.0 KB)

The Correct behaviour of the reproduction is:
The mouse locks to the current position upon game launch and outputs a delta value - Regardless of camera position.

LockCenter and LockCurrentPosition are Broken

This is still an issue I have been having, with still no fix in sight.
I have also made a place to demonstrate the broken functionality.

I am going to be bumping this post for the foreseeable future until it is fixed as it is making it quite hard to continue working on my projects when there is a huge chunk of the project just not working.

After some digging, I would where the issue is caused, it is in lines 1129 through to 1134 in the BaseCamera module in the BaseCamera:UpdateMouseBehavior() function as it fires this function every frame and sets MouseBehavior to default. To fix this I just commented these lines out which made locking the mouse possible again without breaking any functionality that I could see.

Just stick this ModuleScript into StarterPlayerScripts and it should fix the issue

I still think this is ridiculous that a bug that has been reported over a month ago, that has a fix as simple as just commenting a few lines out still hasn’t been fixed on Roblox’s end. This is just ludicrous.

This is still broken with LockCenter too.

Even this two line LocalScript in StarterPlayerScripts fails to work unless I use the corrected module given above.

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UserInputService.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter

Correction
There’s a fix that’s not documented.

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

game:GetService("RunService"):BindToRenderStep("MouseLock", Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value + 1, function()
	UserInputService.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter
end)
